Music Theory in the Age of Romanticism

How did the Romantic era hear the music of Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, or Berlioz? What did it make of the Eroica, the Fantastic Symphony, or the eerie song 'Der Doppelgänger'? From many different vantage points this volume addresses these fascinating questions. A group of brilliant young writers conducts a searching exploration of the way in which those living in the Romantic era thought about music. They bring to bear on their topic issues from politics, gender, metaphor, intersubjectivity, cognition, and many other realms.Bent, Ian is the author of 'Music Theory in the Age of Romanticism', published 0016 under ISBN 9780521020084 and ISBN 0521020085.
